“When young Rachel Saint surrendered her life to God, she began an unimaginable journey that would span decades and radically transform a dying culture steeped in revenge. Against all odds, God would lead her to Ecuador’s Waorani Indians – known as Aucas, or savages, and infamous for murder.
“Despite the martyrdom of five missionaries by Waorani spears, Rachel boldly persisted in following God. In one of the greatest testimonies to God’s grace and power in our time, this pioneering Bible translator would live for two decades with her own brother’s killers, for the joy of seeing them become brothers and sisters in Christ.” ~from the back of the book

My Review:
This was a captivating and challenging book! I had heard some about Rachel Saint (and of course about Nate Saint), but I don’t think I had read anything about Rachel’s life. It was good to read about how she turned her back on riches in order to obey God. Her persistence in reaching the Waorani people for Christ was encouraging as well! This was a great book and I would highly recommend it!
Note: I do not agree with “dreams from God”, etc. While God may use dreams in people’s lives, He does not speak to them in dreams anymore.
Great Books for God's Girls 
I love this book, as well as all the other ones in this series! Have you read any more of these? 😀
Yes, I’ve read at least a couple others! They are good! The only problem I have with them is that many different missionaries are covered, and I don’t agree with all the doctrine of some of them. So it’s good to watch out for stuff like that. 😉
ok, cool! We have like… 72 of them. xD our family loves them! 🙂 Yeah, that makes sense. 😉
